Elder of ZiyonAFP photographer Hazem Bader took these photos with the caption that says, "An Israeli soldier escorts a Palestinian woman to safety as Palestinian youth clash with Israeli security forces in the center of the occupied West Bank town of Hebron on April 24, 2021."
Palestinians are livid that this photo exists. Imagine, a wire service photographer - a Palestinian, no less - who chooses to show something that doesn't portray every Israeli as a monster!
A number of articles and Facebook posts are quoting another journalist, Saeed al-Tawil, saying "The Syndicate of Journalists, the Ministry of Information and the Government Media Office are required to withdraw and freeze the membership of Palestinian ”photographer Hazem Bader, a photographer for the AFP, after he described a photo as 'an Israeli soldier escorting a Palestinian woman to safety during the clash of Palestinian youths with the Israeli security forces in Hebron on April 24, 2021" .. Hazem forgot the entire scene and the crimes of the occupation throughout the days and even previous years, and decided to take advantage of his image that shows the occupation with an angelic face."
It seems that 99% media bias against Israel isn't enough for Palestinians.
